Unit 4 A museum piece LESSON 7 What's this, Dad? It's an Apple 2. It's a very early computer. In fact, it’s the first Personal Computer, ever. It came onto the market in 1977. Where did you find it? Mum found it in a box in the attic. Oh, then it's mine! It's been there for years. In fact, it's been there since we moved into this house! Does it still work? I don't know . . . Ah, there you are! Can you hear the hard disk? Is that noise the hard disk? It sounds like a lawnmower! It is noisy! It hasn't been out of its box for twenty years! What can you do with it? Good question! It's just a museum piece, really. It's only got five Megabytes’ hard disk space. Five Megabytes! That's nothing! I know. It was already a museum piece when I bought it, and that was a long time ago. Maybe I'm a museum piece now, too!
